New poll shows Clinton, Trump in tie for 2016 race
A new national poll out Thursday shows Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in a dead heat in the race for the White House.
Trump and Clinton are tied with 40% support each in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up, the latest New York Times/CBS News poll showed, painting a narrowing race between the two remaining major-party White House hopefuls.
Another 8% said they don't know who they'll vote for, while 7% said they won't vote and 4% said they'd vote for somebody else.
New polls show Trump beating Clinton in 3 key swing states
A New York Times/CBS News poll out last month showed Clinton leading Trump 43%-37%.
The latest poll, conducted July 8-12 among 1,600 adults, shows that the candidates remain tied even when accounting for third-party candidates Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.
The results come after a hard week for Clinton, during which she was harshly criticized by FBI Director James Comey over her use of a private email server for official business during her tenure as secretary of state. The FBI, however, recommended that Clinton not be charged in the matter.
The issue, nevertheless, has appeared to significantly hurt Clinton's standing.
Most Americans think Clinton should face email charges, poll says
Clinton also appears to be suffering in swing states.
A series of polls out a day earlier showed the former secretary of state losing serious ground to her November rival in the key battleground states of Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Another poll out Thursday, by AP-GfK, showed that a whopping 81% of Americans were afraid of at least one of the two major candidates winning the White House.

The shocking finding underscores how unhappy voters appear to be with their choices. More than half (56%) of respondents said they would be afraid of Trump as President, while 48% said they would feel that way if Clinton won.
